♪ >> announcer: this is al jazee jazeera. ♪ hello from al jazeera headquarters in do what and this is the news hour and coming up, in the next 60 minutes. israel continues its bombardment of gaza for the 14th day, the death told climbs to 510. hamas says it captured an israeli soldier, claiming israel will not confirm or deny and fury grows over the chaotic effort at the sign of the

airline crash in eastern ukraine. >> this is an absolutely shambolic situation and looks like a garden cleanup rather than a forensic investigation. ♪ we begin in the gaza strip where 510 palestinians have now been killed as israeli forces bottom barred the region for a 14th day. air strikes and shelling by tanks killed at least 30 people in the areas of rafa and conunis and attacks continuing in the district, 22 israeli soldiers meanwhile have been killed in gaza and military says four soldiers died on monday morning and two civilians have been killed and we go to stephanie in gaza and sunday was a deadly day for palestinians and no let up today and bring us up po speed

on the latest. >> reporter: we had an air strike just south of here and another one further north and we can still hear the shelling from the back. i don't know if you can hear it over the microphone but you can constantly hear the sound of explosion and that is an indication this campaign is very much on going. we had a written statement on the website of the parliament. this is the head of hamas in the gaza strip. he says the enemy is failing and when he says the enemy he is referring to israel and says any cease fire should meet all of our demands and the minimum for a cease fire and these demands as we have been reporting for a while includes lifting the siege and opening the border crossing we egypt and access for fish fisherman and releasing hamas prisoners which were rounded up after three israeli settlers were killed and this is a campaign in the west bank and

arresting members who had been freed in a deal where they released a soldier captured for five years and ended up releasing over a thousand prisoners. so there are many things that need to be dealt with, concessions need to be made from israel and egypt and we will see how it goes. there are talks on going and secretary of state john ker ary will be travelling to cairo but on the ground that is not translating to anything at the moment and the death toll keeps rising and 500, 512, in fact, and you can see it's very active around us and a situation that the people here will tell you is absolutely destroying for them. >> and as you say the death toll keeps rising, sunday of course was the deadliest day with more than 70 people killed in one neighborhood alone.

i know you were able to go into there, stephanie, and witness and you saw what happened there. tell us about what you saw and what the people that you spoke to told you. announcer: that's right, this town is just behind me, the smoke sort of died down now for the moment but heavy shelling going on there today. we went in yesterday with a couple of hours of humanitarian hiatus initiated by the red cross and the scenes were of absolute destruction. we saw to main roads and houses completely destroyed by the artillery fire we know was incredibly intense overnight and into the morning. the people could not leave overnight, ambulances could not get in, people streamed out in the early hours of the morning but would have told you that gave them no reprieve and one man didn't get out at all and sheltered under the stairs with his children and then trying to

go out. at the moment many civilians and most of the civilians have moved out of there. but it did indicate and also from the stories we heard it was shelling indiscriminantly in the area and the devastation there was huge and of course the death toll, 72 on one day shows you just how intense and how violent that was. >> okay, stephanie, thank you for the update, that is stephanie decker live in gaza for us. israeli army meanwhile says it can't confirm or deny if he has been captured in gaza city and one fighter appeared in a video identifying the soldier and citing his army tag number. ambassador to the u.n. says the claim is not true but when we spoke to peter learner, the israeli spokesperson he neither confirmed or denied the claim. >> at this time i still cannot

confirm the report and we are aware of it and looking into the details and we will be confirming or denying it over the course of the day after we have final clarification. we exposed 16 tunnels with 45 access points. as we speak now i'm getting updated of the on going infiltration of the tunnel on border by gaza and they are extensive and penetrating in israel and we are not willing to live with it and therefore we will continue or operations. >> reporter: joining us now is allen who is the former director general of israeli of foreign affairs and is in west jerusalem and thank you for being on al jazeera. in an opinion piece you wrote a few weeks or a few days ago you said this is the first armed conflict where you wrote there is almost no fear on the israeli side. the death toll from the israeli military is now going up. we have 22 soldiers killed. we have perhaps which has not been confirmed by the israelis,

israeli soldier, perhaps captured by the hamas fighters, is this fear now going to be more present? >> can you hear me? in west jerusalem, can you hear me? okay, we will try to reestablish the connection there in jerusalem to get more reaction on the israeli side of the events unfolding in gaza. in the meantime let's move on to the diplomacy and u.s. secretary of state john kerry is traveling to egypt to try to have a broker cease fire in gaza. on sunday he was caught on tape making unguarded comments about the israeli offensive and patty has the details. >> reporter: as the fighting claims more lives u.s. president

president obama talked to the prime minister benjamin netanyahu to express serious concern about the rising death toll on both sides. secretary of state john kerry is travelling to the region to work on a cease fire. but first he spent sunday defending israel saying this is israel doing what it needs to do to protect itself. >> israel, we support israel. >> reporter: that is what he said when he knew he was being watched. this is what happened when he didn't. >> it's a hell of a pinpoint operation. it's a hell of a pinpoint operation. >> it's escalating significantly and under need t-- under score the need for a cease fire. >> i think we ought to go tonight and crazy so be sitting around. >> reporter: he backed israel. >> war is tough. >> reporter: benjamin netanyahu also appeared on t.v. where he went unchallenged on claims that the people of gaza have ways to get out and he said hamas wants

a high death toll so the u.s. media will ask tough questions. but when asked if he would give any concessions, his answer, no. >> this will view a devastating blow to palestinian authority and president a bass and to the region where other terrorist groups will see this kind of terror behavior is awarded. >> calling for immediate cease fire and negotiations and.net nerve has rebuked previous calls from the u.s. to ease the siege on gaza and privately they may not like what they are seeing but not making demands on israel to make it stop, patty in washington. >> reporter: we are joined live from london and james diplomatic efforts are being stepped up to resolve the conflict and john kerry is going for regional efforts to reach a truce and can something positive come out of

in this time around as a momentum? >> and more players involved i think this time around. we've seen important meetings taking place in doha and the capitol and has some leverage with hamas and also there you have the palestinian amood abbas and an norwejian peace process and one of the few western countries that also talked to hamas and you can see the beginnings of a deal being put in place and moon moving from doha to where john kerry will be and egyptians are on board and came up with a cease fire proposal last time but didn't really negotiate it properly with hamas and hamas said they didn't know anything about it and this time making sure the

sides are connected coming up, with a new cease fire proposal but i think the last 24 hours and the very large death toll we have seen will make things even harder. >> thank you, james live in london and we go to the former director of foreign affairs and live from our studio in west jerusalem and thank you for your patience and i want to ask you about the death toll on the israeli side which is rising and 22 soldiers killed, 4 this morning. you wrote in an opinion piece a few days ago this is the first armed conflict where there is almost no fear on the iz raelly side but with a death toll rising is there more fear with israel expecting such stiff resistance? >> the battleground has changed, of course, after the 8th day of this war. when i wrote the article about a week after the war started, we didn't have any casualties and

the purpose of the article was let's go on like it is and not enter on the ground but the israeli government didn't listen to me and entered on the ground and everything has changed and now we have casualties and now it's a painful war for us too. >> do you think this could lead the high casualties on the israeli side, sorry to interrupt you, do you think this will lead to the rethink of israel strategy or more likely to see more disproportionate violence? >> i think now when the fighting is so fierce and casualties, so many casualties on both sides, the targets are mostly military targets and i think personally that the diplomatic efforts should not be dropped and your correspondent spoke about it. i think we should go on the

platform that was used so far, only the egyptian platform was not enough for the first fire in the airport and now with the new players that i hear are joining, including the americans that are on their way and in katar i hope that the platform will be wide enough to arrange a cease fire. it's a terrible war. it will achieve nothing by going on and fighting. it has to come to a moment in which the sides are talking and agreeing first on a cease fire but on a long-term cease fire that will bring a political result. without a political result this war is worth for nothing. >> you say this is a terrible war that will achieve nothing and yet prime minister netanyahu

is vowing to continue operations as much as we need to he says despite the high casualties on the palestinian side and also the numbers going up on the israeli side. what are the domestic implications for netanyahu and why is he adament about pushing forward on this? >> the domestic scene is that netanyahu has a lot of support, no serious opposition, not even from the big opposition parties like the labor party and you see some demonstrations in arab cities inside israel but there is kind of a jewish consensus so far behind this war. but the target so far that the israeli government specified are only military targets. the public very much wants to achieve this mill -- military

targets and an hour ago there were missiles on tel-a-viv and on another big city in israel, and they are sick and tired of it and want to see it ending. but what i'm saying is our military goals in such a war is important. but you must also explain the political goals of this war, the war will be over and after the fighting is over we will have a political ending, diplomatic ending and the efforts to reach this diplomating ending to the war have to continue in parallel to the fighting. >> very good to hear your thoughts and thank you so much for joining us from the west jerusalem bureau. we want to take a closer look how we got to this point this gaza. this is the fourth time the israeli government launched offensive in the occupied a palestinian territories since

the elections in 2006. israel immediately rejected the election result and had edge couragement to stop rocket fire from gaza. 2007 israel had a blockade on the trip after hamas took control of the region allowing basic humanitarian supplies in side, december of 2008 israel had an operation in gaza, military offensive that killed more than 1400 palestinians and israeli army returned in 2012, again, the objective was to stop rockets being fired into the territory, 167 palestinians were killed. let's bring in the beirut person from the institute of public policy and into national affairs and good to have you again on al jazeera and we have been here before and have been major offensive in the last few years and many dead, is there anything different this time around? do you think there is a lasting

solution this time around? >> well, just to expand what you said, there were four attacks by israel against gaza since 2006 but israel has been attacking refugee resistance movement and refugee camps since the 1960s in the southern lebanon and jordan and west bank and gaza and continuation of a policy the state of israel practiced for 50 years now, it's nothing new. what is new and different this time is the expanded capability of the resistance groups hamas and islamic jihad and a couple other ones and the groups who are fighting by firing rockets and using the tunnels to go into israel. this is new. and this has been increasing. and it's directly in response to the israeli, four israeli attacks since 2006. every time israel plummets gaza

the resistance gets technically proficient and fortified and if they are fighting hamas or lebanon have been forced to accept a cease fire but never resolved the under lying issues and i think this is what the mediators need to look at and the only credible one in the bunch is the norwegian prime minister. >> and john kerry is going to egypt which has been the traditional mediator between hamas and israel. but a lot of things have changed in egypt in the last few months, in the last two years. can egypt still be an honest broker in this crisis and if not egypt who there is. >> well, the evidence says from the last year with abdel-fattah el-sissi in charge there cannot be an honest broker and the cease fire proposal they

produced was rejected by hamas because it was so one sided and hamas was not really consulted so it's unlikely that egypt can gain the statute like that but they have to be an important player and egypt is critical for the palestinians as a whole in gaza because they control the only real access point to the world which is the rafa crossing. when the american morning secretary the tendency is to duck because trouble is on the way. the americans spend all day and night saying they support israel to do what they are doing and we cannot expect anything impartial from the americans in diplomacy or cease fires. the u.n. secretary general is trying to play a role. and others are trying to play a role but norwegian is the credible mediator and his presence will add to the

process. the mediation has to do two things, it has to stop the fighting so both sides feel they are not being attacked and disproportionate attacks are coming against palestinians from israelis and both needs to feel safe and they will start addressing the under lying political issues that gave rise to this conflict and this takes us back to 1947 and 48 and israelis don't want to talk about the refugees and if not they will never be at peace and go on to the 10th generation as the bible tells us and them. >> thank you for giving your thoughts and we are live from beirut. there is much more ahead on this al jazeera news hour, death doesn't discriminate from a camera man to a medic and a child and take a look at how no one is spared in the gaza conflict. a farmer fights back, why one person is risking their life to

criticized separatists for interfering. >> this is still an absolutely shambolic situation, it's a abs lawsuitsly shambolic situation. it does look more like a garden cleanup than a forensic investigation. and there is no doubt that at the moment the site is under the control of the russian-backed rebels. and given the almost certain culpability of the russian-backed rebels in the downing of the aircraft having those people in control of the site is a little like leaving criminals in control of a crime scene. >> reporter: and our correspondent scott hydler is in the eastern town where the ukraine government wants the bodies of the victims to be brought and tell us what is happening there and if the bodies have arrived there.

>> and this is the location of where the head of this investigation, 31-member investigation team from many countries, the head of it is the head of the dutch national police, he is here. the bodies have not arrived yet. it's not confirmed at this stage they will be coming here, that is what everyone believes they will be, it seems like the logical spot but yet to be confirmed they will arrive here and not confirmed they have left yet. the head of the investigation team said he expects it to leave by the end of the day. you have a fluid situation right now in and around donsk because there is fighting and renewed fighting going on in the city center there and can effect rail routes and we will see if it comes here but confidently the head of the international investigation team saying the body and train carriages carrying remains of 251 of the victim also be setting out to go someplace, we don't know yet but will be setting up by the end of the day. >> it is quite an interesting

thing, scott, that the fighting in donsk is happening as a recovery operation is underway not very far. >> not very far at all. it was interesting because we came um here to cover the investigation and on the way up here we were going through donsk and going north and saw ukrainian troop movement before what we see now and it's a battle they are pushing into donsk, the ukrainian army and saw columns with vehicles carrying soldiers and tanks that moved their position down from where they were a little bit north of the city down further south. so we saw that in the works. how this will directly effect what's going to be happening with this crash investigation, it definitely will and impede it in some way because you have european monitors staying in donsk and they need to go out and continue monitoring the situation and they are at the

rail way cars today and it's going to delay things at the least and depends how long the fighting goes on because it started a couple hours ago and it's still on going. >> let's find out about what is going on and we are live from the eastern ukrainian city and bring us up to speed with what is happening and i see heavy smoke behind you there. >> reporter: yes, we are on the rooftop position. we have pretty much a 360 view of donsk from where we are. there are plumes of smokes on the outskirts oof the city, if i step out of the way so we can zoom in on that particular area of the outskirts of donsk and that is a key road that leads to the airport. there has been heavy shelling in the past few hours and it's continuing just before we came on air. now we understand what is happening is that the ukrainian army that were held up at the

airport have now broken through, out of the airport and trying to breach the lines of the separatists fighters and basically trying to take the city. now, what the separatists have been doing, we have seen a lot of movement and arms moving toward the front line from opposition up here. they are trying to hold that line to try to prevent the tanks of the ukrainian army from entering donsk and this is a big city of a million residents and a third of the population fled here in the past few weeks with heavy fighting in the areas around donsk and eastern ukraine and another important town as well as slovansk taken early july by the separatist fighters. as i say at the moment it's a very fluid situation and we have seen residents fleeing from the scene and seeing residential blocks that have been hit, we have seen people who are taking

shelter in bomb shelters, women, children, elderly and disabled and terrified and surprised because they were hoping with the airline being shot down would lead to a peace fire or cease agreement between ukraine and separatist forces but seems to have the opposite effect. >> okay, thank you very much indeed for that update from donsk and we will go back to you as soon as more developments are in donsk. this is the world weather with everton and more rain across the philippines everton. >> that is right, we have a typhoon close by but not hitting the philippines but it's causing problems as we see there, plenty of heavy around and strong winds. i have a friend trying to go from manila that is 300 kilometers away and delayed four hours as a result of the system and doesn't look look they will

get off the ground any time soon. you can see the massive cloud to the east of the philippines and that is the one causing the problems. plenty of heavy rain across the philippines and central and north earn parts, 109 millimeters of rain here in 24 hours and the ground is saturated and the heavy rain is in place. there is the storm. winds at the moment around 140 kilometers per hour. there is a category one storm and hurricane in the atlantic and will intensify and go to taiwan in the early parts of wednesday and see the storm in northern parts of taiwan and it is not going to make a direct hit on the philippines and look how it's pumping rain across the central and northern parts. that is tuesday's picture. by wednesday when the system makes its way up to taiwan and wet in the philippines with damaging winds and rains coming into taiwan early.

ambulance. camera man died in the same strike. for a moment they mourn them together. today even caregivers need for be given care. >> translator: one hour before he died his daughter called him and asked when will you will back? >> reporter: war doesn't spare the four-year-old who lost her uncle and home and she and thousands shed to the courtyard because they thought it was the only place safe from israeli bombs and he has 14 relatives being treated for wounds. >> translator: when we die god shows us hell. but we have seen hell while we are alive.

overwhelming. ten feet away with the help of h hospital's administrator a mother tells her son thank god you are alive. and on the very next bed he holds up his brother and zap nell went this his thigh and moved house to house and say each one was bombed. >> translator: they began bombing near my uncle's house and ran away and went to the neighbor's and got bombed there too. >> reporter: they fled israeli air strikes in the neighborhood there. >> translator: just after dawn they took whatever they could carry and got out as fast as they could from horror. all night and all morning the israeli bombarded here and struck homes, cars, more

civilians died here in one night than the previous three days of conflict. what you can't see palestinian fighters used the area as a base and that same fighting killed 13 israeli soldiers. during a brief cease fire we drove into here, the deeper we went the empty streets and a few resident residence remain. this is a school that has been gutted by an israeli strike. if you look down here you can see how empty this neighborhood is and you can actually hear the constant sound of israeli drones. just across the street from the school you can see this, a house that has been destroyed. on our way out we met a family and they told everyone to leave days ago and some are just now heeding that call. can you tell me what you saw this morning and last night? >> translator: we heard shelling and artillery and the

sound was terrible. >> translator: we saw shelling and death. we saw the dead with our own eyes. >> reporter: these days death comes often in gaza and it doesn't discriminate. nick with al jazeera, gaza. joining us now we have a christian aid live from gaza and thank you very much for speaking to us. humanitarian situation in gaza was a desperate one even before the latest israeli offensive. tell us how the bombing of the last few days especially the bombing on sunday how it has effected people's lives in gaza. >> can you hear me? >> yeah. >> i was trying to find out how people's lives have been effected by the latest israeli bombing, some of the people you have been helping what are they telling you and what sort of help do they need? >> yeah, like i don't really

know where to start. like this is really overwhelming and innocent civilians are being targeted and by the israeli offensive. and this situation is terrible and getting bad. even before this on going military escalation started, the gaza strip has been here for seven years and already fragile. so this came to insult to injury like causing more casualties and more injuries to innocent people. like the minister of help stated over 507 people have been killed since 7th of july and thousands, at least 3,000 people have been wounded. >> right. >> and like even before like crisis started like the minister

of health has severe short analyzes in medical supplies and drugs and like there are severe shortages in reserves of fuel which made it like almost like impossible for hospitals to cope with the overwhelmingly number of casualties in action. >> we heard that hundreds of people have sought safety at gaza's chief of hospital courtyard because they feel it's the only place where they can escape the israeli bombs. a lot of people have been fleeing. we saw people fleeing out of here yesterday. where else are people going, where else are these people going and what sort of help is your organization able to provide them given the condition and given the continued bombing? >> well, actually like people fleeing like from here, like the scenes that remind me that this is the neck of the 2014 like the

hundreds of thousands of people like have like fled here. in fact, in gaza we don't have proper places like safe places where people can go to, like the u.n. administer, like the u.n. schools have been like over capacity and there are more than like 55 u.n. schools and so people choose either to be hosted by their relatives who are not necessarily living in safe areas or like they seek refuge in places that are supposed to be like safe places and they had to go to a ship hospital in gaza city and other places. it is worth mentioning like even the facilities are not like safe. places to turn to because like

in this ongoing escalation at least like three hospitals have been damaged including the only habitation hospital in gaza that was targeted in east of gaza like at least at least six facilities have sustained severe damage. so centers or hospitals are not even safe for people. >> okay, thank you so very much for speebi inin inin inin inini and that was christian aid speaking to us live from gaza. the base group hezbollah has support for hamas and the backing is called the president of the political arm on sunday and they praised the palestinian fighters in gaza and we are joined from beirut with more on this and tell us about the significance of hezbollah supporters. >> hezbollah and iran have been

strong allies and crucial role in supporting hamas with fighting capabilities. and when the syrian operation started and hezbollah took a position supporting regime the risk grew and there was some kind of not cooling of ties and it's the first time they called the leader in more than two years. the last time the two leaders met was in 2011. so you could see that this was happening in gaza. it's bringing those two former allies closer together. we don't know to what extent and it's important that he reached out after accusations that hamas be troyed the support he got and could use some techniques they taught fighters to fight hezbollah especially along the syrian, lebanese border. so obviously the situation in the middle east is so fluid. and this confrontation between

israel and hamas is also having some impact on the regional alliances that are developing in the aftermath. >> okay, well thank you very much for the analysis, that is live from beirut. let's turn now to other world news, in libya 47 people have been killed in clashes between rival malitia groups. the groups have control of the main airport in tripoli, and libya health ministry confirmed 120 people have been wounded and this is after cease fire efforts failed on saturday. three al jazeera journalists have now spent 205 days in an egyptian prison and they are falsely accused of helping the out lawed muslim brotherhood and they were jailed 7 years last month and mohamed was given 7 years but received additional 3 because he had a spent bullet in his possession picked up at a protest and al jazeera continues

the region and al jazeera reports from the crossing in northwest iraq. >> reporter: the river is a natural boundary between iraq and syria. two countries that are breaking up. in this corner the kurdish government is the authority on the ground and it is moving toward the session from iraq. but this is a political fault line, northwest of syria is run by p.w.d., an off shoot of the party and they believed the border carved up their ethnic home land, what they call greater kurdistan and there is new reality on both sides of the border and they are kurdish regions and run by long-time rivals who do not cooperate and blame each other for the people and the traffic however seems to be one way. >> translator: there are no

humanitarian corridors to reach the kurds and people are suffering because of the self islamic state and it's the only crossing.and p.w.d. doesn't allow people to leave. >> reporter: the is one of to connecting the regions iraq and syria, the other has been closed since the kurdish took over positions abandoned by the iraq army in the sunni offensive in june. >> they do not allow people to cross, i tried speaking to them about the situation and they say they have orders but didden say from whom. >> reporter: they are against breaking away from syria and has been accused of working with the syrian government in exchange for greater autonomy. there is no unity among kurds. >> translator: this is part of four countries and special circumstances in each and they can decide for themselves. we are not seeking to include the regions in our state. >> reporter: but iraq's kurds control land locked territory

and have good ties with neighboring turkey but with iran and syria they called for iraq to remain united and players have their own kurdish allies, it's a complex web of alliances that blurs borders in a region where a new map is being drawn. i'm with al jazeera, northwestern iraq. at least 40 people have been shot dead in northeastern nigeria in the borno state over the weekend killing dozens of residents and bushing down houses and the killing spree was similar to a boko haram attack earlier this year. the town is the main cross road for farmers bringing produce to market. it's attacks like this which are forcing thousands to abandon their fields and with some of the nigeria furtel agriculture land deserted, produce is hard to come by and we go visit the

neighboring countries. >> when they killed 100 people in the village they escaped to a town nearby and last month they ran out of money and had to go back and till his land. fight fighters were hit again and he was shot and ten other farmers were killed. >> translator: i never go to the farm again. that is it. it's finished. where do we go from here? no where. >> reporter: what appears to be a deliberate plan boko haram has been systematically targeting farmers in northeastern nigeria a many driven off their land with a region that provides a bulk of the country's food and farmers not only killed in their fields but entire farming villages are wiped out, displaced or taken over by the group's fighters and his husband and father were rounded up and shot dead along with five children and mother and slept on the streets of the town they fled to until someone gave them

shelter. >> translator: we are suffering badly. we don't have clothes to wear. sometimes we sleep hungry. >> reporter: the area is abandoned by farmers in borno state both under emergency rule and some of the most fertile and they say 10,000 hectres of rice are abandon by 20,000 farmers at the height of the season last year and farmers also say several,000 farmers have been affected and officials there are still surveying the damage they say farmers are not coming for the seasonal services. >> farmers not responding with the truck to the field on the farms. this will create impact on the food supply in this area. >> reporter: the impact of boko haram's violence can be felt in markets across the northeast, many people are saying this
